[{"type":"text","content":"\n 43 applications in the last 30 days to open new Simplicity Esports Gaming Centers Boca Raton, Florida, March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company (OTCQB:WINR) (“Simplicity Esports”), announced that it has received a record number of applications submitted via its wholly owned subsidiary, PLAYlive Nation’s website, from potential franchisees interested in purchasing new franchise territories, and opening Simplicity Esports gaming centers. New franchisee applications include disclosure of financial information, desired territory, and business background. New applicants typically take 30 to 60 days to move through Simplicity Esports’ internal vetting and sales process. The vetting process is designed to approve only those applicants that Simplicity Esports believes have the financial and business experience needed to become a franchisee owner-operator of a Simplicity Esports gaming center.
